Men are Not Susceptible to Flattery

Wife Ito husband who is arranging
his toilet at the mirror)-"Can't you
take me to the opera tonight, dear?'
Husband (decisively)-'No, lean not,
Opera indeed! Do you think I'm made
of money!"
Wife CATER a pause)-'Idon't see any
need of your spending so much time
brushing your whiskers. dear"
Husband Cunning around with an
angry glitter in his eyes)-''Why not:?'
Wife (smilingly)-'.Because one
brushing is enough. And you are
handsome enough without going to all
that trouble. 1t would be hard for you
to make yourself any handsomer-at
least in my eyes-than you are natural

your toilet"

HORRIBLE MURDER MYSTERY.

TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 17.-At Eddington, q
small village between Schanks and Bristol,
on the line of the New York division of the
PENNSYLVANIA railway, farmer Hibbs this
morning found the naked trunk of n man on
the edge of a pond. 1t was wrapped in paper
and tied up with light cord. The head and arms
had been sawed and the lower extremities
hacked off.
The trunk was shipped to Bristol at noon,
where an inquest was held attracting hundreds
OF people The most important testimony
was that of DR.. Wilson who said that an eI-
tinct over twenty-four hours and that death
was not from any ordinary cause. The dis.
covery resulted in fully suspending all bust
ness. DR.. Wilson says the trunk is not from a
medical college, as that part is always kept
The pond will be drawn and the country
searched for the missing parts.

Story INA Court.
New York dispatch: In the trial Of Capt.
Edward Unger to-day for the murder oil
Louis Bohle. whose body the defendant
confessed to Inspector Byrnes he had cut
Np and shipped it to Baltimore in a trunk,
Unger related in an intensely REALISTIC
manner the circumstances OF the murder,
closing with a repetition OF his confession.
His manner impressed the spectators to
some degree with the business of the theory
OF seIfdefense, the violence OF Bohle being
dramatically illustrated. Unger related
his story of the night OF horror which
passed while the body OF Bohle was behind
the cot He had a ftful sleep broken by
horrible dreams, and in each OF them Bohle
appeared standing ut his bed. Unger
would start up and spring out OF bed.
Again and again this was repeated. Unger
said in closing: Il don't know, but it
don't seem that l did it. l don't seem to
be awake. / am a miserable man. l seem
TO be dreaming ever since. l certainly did
Sc IN self-defsnse. i ant blame myself; ]
am 4 miserable man."
After recess Unger was cruss-examined.
He again described the iracas infinitely and
without the slightest variation from his
former relation, and as he described and
enacted his part in the fight, Unger's face
Was a study. At the moment he was re-
Eating with uplifted hand how he held the
arm of Bohle. who had a butcher knife in
his hand. there was an expression OF
hard exertion and a trial OF strength in
Unger's face, and when he in his memory
ran t-Om the furious Bohle. who was after
aim with n knife, and told how he stopped
and with one hand on the bedroom door
r5ched half behind him with the other
hand to- the hammer in the tool chest,
keeping his eve on his assailant the mean
~hile. there was that frightened, hurried,
terrible look which one might expect to see
on the face Of one in that actual scene, and
he said: Il didn't know | would grab the
hammer. There were irons thers, and /

BE struggled to hold Bodies right arm aloft
and To strike with the hammer, he said:

ITIs utter folly 10 talk otherwise
than that Gov. John A. Martin could
close the saloon ct the Soldiers
Home at LeavenwOrth, in short ord
er, 81 he wanted to.-RurliHQome In
dependent (F'rOhibitiOR).
Gov. Martin has absolutely no
authority at the SOldiers' Home.
The government has full control at
FOrts LeavenwOrth, Riley, Hayes
and all other military posts in and
out Of Kansas, with no state ito mo-
lest or make afraid" in selling liquor.
These third psrtyiters are great
stieklers for other people, doing
some impracticable things. Intheir
opinions officers who do not crush
out liQuOr-drinking, root, stem and
branch, !" are great criminals. They
can espy no redeeming qualities in
the great progress that has been made
Tor prohibition. They have but one
mission on earth and that is &c tear
to pieces the great Republican party.
But we have In mind an occurrence
in Kansas this year, which shows
how available they would be m
enforcing prohibition. "There
was q state gathering in one Of the
large cities, and several Of the guests
were invited by citizens to partRke
Of beer at q hall. Some Of the pro-
hibitiOnists wanted the mayor to
have them arrested for drinking
beer. "But," asked the official, "are
they selling beerg" "No," was the
reply. "Then I have.no jurisdiction
In the matter" Then going b the
sheriff the result was the same, but
the latter politely informed them
that q they were desirOus Of effect
ing the arrests and were willing to
take the responsibility, he would
delegate one Of their number as his
deputy for that special duty. II Is
safe TO say that no special appoint
ment was made In the case nor that
any person was arrested. Il was an
instance Of much cry and little wool.
Hence &c is that talk Is one thing /
and doing quite another thing.

ton held last Saturday. Despite the
heavy rain every precinct in the
county was represented In the con-
ventiOn, and the crowded court room
manifested in no ordinary degree the

ventiOn. It was q fine convention,
participated In by the representative
